Zelph!
He was somebody
Zelph!
Not just anybody
Zelph!
A white Lamanite
Zelph!
When Zion’s Camp was marching in Illinois one day
They found some skeletons and the Prophet Joe did say,
“These old remains include a guy, who it appears
was a white Lamanite from the Book of Mormon years.”
Zelph, he was a man there in the ground
With a pile of other bones that made a mound
And if you didn’t know who they had found
Now indeed, you see, Zelph is he
This Lamanite was not just any average dude
He was a mighty warrior with fame and fortitude
He was so righteous that his skin, it changed to white
To be more delightsome for his racist God’s delight
Zelph, he was conveniently right where
Joseph’s followers found him when digging there
So Joseph could show off his Prophet flair
Yes, indeed, you see, Zelph is he
Joe said that Zelph was known from the East to the Rockies
He must have had a plane to fly all the way down to Belize
'Cause now we know from those apologists who say
It happened there in Mesoamerica back in the day
Zelph, he was a man who traveled wide
With the prophet Onendagus by his side
On tapirs, into battle they would ride
Now, indeed, you see, Zelph is he
Zelph is he, Zelph is he, huh??
